Hello,

one of my favorite ever is to assign a slow delayed LFO to the VCA
to have a delayed tremolo effect on sustained sounds triggered by AT
works great on organ/pad/drones like sounds
u can do it with mod wheel but of course when u play
with 2 hands massive chords is better to use AT to trigger it

i use it a lot on my JD800 where the lfos are extremely flexible
and a neat trick is to use perfect multiples lfo speed per TONE
2/4/8/16, or to trigger AT +15 -30 +30 -15

what a pity lfos on the AN1X are so poor in comparison and no
multiple tones or multi :-( but we can use the free EGs to move the
sound

on the other hand i think the strength of the AN1X are the lovely
VCOs FMing and SYNCHing capabilities

on knobs related issues
i truly adore my jd800 even if it is a 1 knob per function
u can hardly get lost in sub menus and u know what u change when u
move something, instant endless pleasure !

the AN1X is a good compromise but 8 knobs and matrix panel are
the "so-trendy-cheap for them to make-not cheap for u to buy" UI
solution

Regards
